How to: Reduce the Time your House is on the Market

All the excitement that comes with selling your home also comes with a lot of anticipation. With your agent and yourself wants your home to sell as quickly as possible, so you can start you new journey in your new home.

I believe that the most important thing that comes with selling your home quickly is setting a solid sales price. When a home is new to the market, it gets the most attention. When preparing to market your home, make sure you call a reliable realtor to get a solid understanding of the market your neighborhood is in. Understanding the market is crucial in picking a sales price, as you want to set a solid price in the property you are selling.

The second thing that is important when trying to sell a home quickly is how you show your home. Before showings start to occur, you need to make sure you all of the little things are put away. This makes each room look larger and allows potential buyers to take in more of the home itself, rather than the items in it. Another important thing when presenting your home is making sure it is clean. Potential buyers are looking for their future home to be well taken care of. The simplest actin of wiping down light switches before a showing can make a rather significant difference, as buyers definitely notice if there is a dirty light switch- rather than a clean one. Another tip, make sure your front entry is all cleaned up. Walking in through the front door is a potential buyer’s first impression of the interior of your home, and can even set the mood for the rest of the home.

The two biggest turn offs for buyers looking at homes are indoor animals and smoking. If you have indoor pets, make sure your home does not have any pet odors. Walking in to a home filled with the aroma of wet dog does not exactly draw a buyer in. Before a showing, make sure you put rugs and dog beds that hold lots of pet odor outdoors. If you smoke, it is a good idea for you to not smoke indoors during the process of selling your home.

With all of these tips in mind, you are more on your way to sell your home faster for top dollar. Call us at anytime if you are looking for more tips on selling your home quick!
